Hmm?

I was just about to sign up with Pipex and had a look at Nildram. Apparently they are faster and more reliable? Any truth in it?

Thanks

Darren

Yes. Superb gaming platform.

Use them at work, with no problems at all.

I have a customer who uses it and they seem to be one of the most reliable around plus support is always 1st class which helps if it does go wrong!!!

They are excellent. I have no probs at all with them, very polite, very tech savvy and very fast.

Ive migrated *all* my biz customers onto them. They really are top.

Thumbs up

Another thumbs up for them.

They're consistently the fastest broadband ISP (Click here).

Their support staff are top notch, and if you explain to them that you actually know what you're talking about, they happily skip over their standard support questions

They've been around for an awfully long time. I've had a Demon account since 1994/5, but Nildram were my second choice at the time.

I just switched to nildram ADSL from Demon HH - and I can echo the comments above.

Speed is good, support / accounts staff are excellent; and the option of a dial up backup is reassuring !

I just switched from Blueyonder Broadband to Pipex Xtreme ADSL

The speed is unreal, very very quick.
Depends on how far you are from your exchange though, might be worth checking this first.

Based in Aylesbury. It's the distance from the sea that makes the technology better.

I've had Nildram ADSL for over 2 years. I am very happy with their quality of service.

The Nildram 1mb home connection isn't up and running yet (except maybe a trial). Should be more details by end of April.
